Quote from: galina on September 25, 2026, 10:33:57Starting to google the seed circle varieties.  So much to look forward to.

Both Märchenengel and Märchenfeuer are Open Source registered variety tomatoes.  Both slightly shorter varieties suitable for large pots as well as outdoors.  They look great, thank you Vetivert. 

Yes they're bred to be strongly blight resistant. Not the best year to assess resistance but they're growing well outdoors.

I love a physical catalogue, it is a bit like when we were little  and Woolworth brought out the Christmas one. Perfect for a wet day , dreaming and looking forward. Thomas Etty has some interesting links to some of the first.

Quote from: galina on September 24, 2026, 13:31:42Thanks MR, don't have that one, looking forward to it.

A few photos.

The c maxima winter squash New Zealand Blue and the Old Timey Cornfield Pumpkin in its beige storage colour, a c moschata winter squash.  The Cressonnette Marocaine lettuce.  Another of Bosnian Yellow bean and of Old Wyandotte tomato. 

Great photos. The Cressonnette Marocaine looks quite a lettuce. Definitely looking forward to that.

That's a great list, MR. You've obviously had a brilliantly busy and successful year.
Sorry about Orange Banana and Anna Russian. They were supposed to be on my list. Copying and pasting went a bit wrong!
And yes please to pink kale.

The Kipfler bean is from Adam Alexander, the seed detective and is green with a big splash of purple.

Pink mystery kale?  Yes please, would like a little pinch.  Thank you MR.  And also great offer, like Vetiver's too.  Is Kipfler the green, the yellow or the green striped version?
